A pedestrian has been injured after he was struck by a car and then trapped between the vehicle and a lorry on a busy Plymouth road.

Faraday Road was completely closed in both directions following the incident in the afternoon rush hour.

It is not known how serious the man's injuries are at this stage.

A police spokesman said officers were called at 4.40pm to reports that a man had been hit by a car and subsequently been trapped between the car and a truck after the truck reversed at the junction between Faraday Road and Gydnia Way.
